Matt Young has elected free agency.

Cardinals signed OF Matt Young to a minor league contract.

Young was released by the Tigers on Saturday. He went 1-for-10 with nine strikeouts in a brief call-up earlier in the season, and was hitting an abysmal .212/.363/.276 in96 games with Triple-A Toledo. He'll merely serve as organizational depth for the Cardinals. Fri, Aug 17, 2012 08:29:00 PM

Albert Pujols underwent successful surgery on Friday to release his right plantar fascia.

The surgery was performed by Dr. Robert Anderson in North Carolina. The typical recovery time for this surgery is estimated at four months, which will impact his availability early in spring training as well as his regular off-season routine. This news should push Pujols down a couple of rounds in early fantasy drafts.

Angels manager Mike Scioscia said that the team will not overwork Garrett Richards (elbow) in 2017.

Richards underwent stem cell treatment for a tear in his ulnar collateral ligament in May, ending his season at that very early juncture. He is expected to be ready for spring training, but the Angels are going to be reasonably cautious as the season unfolds. Said Scioscia, "You’re not going to see Garrett throwing 220 innings next year. I hate to put a floor on (the innings) and have to get into a range right now, but I can tell you that we are going to be very, very careful with where Garrett is and make sure that he rebounds and maintains his stuff." Richards has pitched more than 170 innings just once in his big league career.

Cam Bedrosian underwent surgery Tuesday on the embolus in his right armpit.

Embolus is the scientific term for a blood clot. Bedrosian is expected to be able to resume full baseball activities in 6-8 weeks, so he should enter spring training next February at 100 percent health. The 24-year-old right-hander finished the 2016 season with a stellar 1.12 ERA and 51/14 K/BB ratio in 40 1/3 innings.
